Aberlour history
A site noted as Abirlaur is shown in this location on maps in Joan Blaeu’s Atlas of Scotland, from 1654. The current village, Charlestown of Aberlour, was “founded by Charles Grant of Elchies in 1812” The town was granted its feu charter in 1814 and began to operate its own markets. Whisky was a major industry even then and once the Excise Act was passed it began to take on the more mature characteristics that are familiar today.
Aberlour etymology
Aberlour, recorded in 1226 as Aberlower, means ‘confluence of the Lour burn’ The name of the burn is from Gaelic labhar ‘loud, noisy’ Charlestown refers to Charles Grant of Elchies.
